…product. Specially designed end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) allows for highly stable and exact positioning of labels. 5. Applications for automation in post-processing Post-processing robots can inspect, test, and hot-stamp plastic molded parts. For example, an eight-axis robotic trimming cell provides superior repeatability compared with a human performing the same task. Robots can also improve precision, accuracy, and cycle times, lessening waste…

…mounted near the end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) or even inside the grippers. Why not just rely on vision? “Putting a camera inside the gripper takes a whole computer to calculate—simpler is always better,” Sullivan replied. “To train spatial sense to be similar to vision, we realized that we needed to augment visual perception with tactile. This involves both our computer vision…
